INTRODUCTION. the Politics of Failure my world issue five http://www.skatedork.org/fifteen/theband/mwnine.htm INTRODUCTION. Welcome to My World 9. As always you can reach me at: 48 Shattuck Square #6 Berkeley CA 95407 or [email protected] The Politics of Failure Hi Jeff Ott here. I wanted to talk to you about some of the ethical and political considerations of punk rock music. I got into this scene thing in around 1983. I was 12 and a half at the time. By that time Maximum Rock and Roll generally, and Tim Yohannon specifically had a kind of stranglehold on what could and what could not be considered punk. The basic thinking as far as I could tell at the time was that because the rock stars of the 70s and 80s were so decadent and arrogant and pompous that we shouldn't be anything like them. As time went on the ideology developed into the ramifications of the record industry being tied into the defense industry and other bad things. Eventually the mere possibility of breaking even on a band or doing a record with any non-MRR approved record labels was almost completely taboo, selling out and treason against the scene. In the early Nineties it became very clear that mainstream media was going to start signing punk rock bands and present it like it's the new thing. As it started happening we 1 of 19 4/14/18, 7:08 PM my world issue five http://www.skatedork.org/fifteen/theband/mwnine.htm fully engaged the debate as to whether or not it should happen without really looking at the fact that it wasn't in our power to stop it. Some of my friend's bands went to major labels. I had already bought the MRR ideology hook, line and sinker but the fact that it was my friends afforded me the space to see if I thought it was wrong or not. The first thing that I noticed that nobody had an argument against was the fact that if Green Day wasn't on MTV and wasn't selling tons of CDs then it would most certainly be some other band. Our refusal to work with the major labels would basically have no effect on whether or not those corporations (and their defense industry buddies) made money. MRR threw the idea out over and over, if you just don't do business with them then they won't make any money off of you. So what, they will make as much money whether it's you or the New Kids On The Block. As time went on some of my friend's bands did a handful of benefits for local radical and activist organizations. These produced huge amounts of money. Six Figures. My whole concept of doing lots of benefit shows that would raise about 100-200 each started to look pretty sad. One of the benefit shows Green Day did made about 35,000 dollars for San Francisco Food Not Bombs. Lotta money right? Wrong. It didn't even cover their current lawyer bills. They had tons of cases against them for serving food. One of the main organizers Keith Machinery had a three strikes charge against him for serving food. It started to occur to me that it was much more important to provide lawyers, keep the meals going, and to build infrastructure for future revolutionary movements than t was to obey Tim Yohannon. Punk Rock always like to claim that it was revolutionary and against the system but it consistently fell short. It could criticize the system but it always was and is too chicken to actually confront the system and to attack the system. As I got older the whole idea of having an anti-establishment identity, but not actually doing anything got really old. At this point in my life I read an article about what Rage Against the Machine was doing with the money they were making. They were funding real shit. Zapatistas and Mumia's defense. Yeah we were pure, but they were getting the job done and we were just hot air. As I got more involved in organizing it really dawned on me that actual revolution is going to take a lot of people, a lot of money and a lot of work. The whole idea of following Tim Yohannons line of thinking stopped making sense. I began to view it as deciding to fail. I have kids so I can't afford to fail. I can't afford the consequences of letting corporate/government control of everything going unchallenged. As I got even older and started having responsibilities like feeding my kids I noticed another flaw in the idea that bands shouldn't make money. I couldn't afford to do a band anymore. According to the rules of MRR everyone in the world should have a living 2 of 19 4/14/18, 7:08 PM my world issue five http://www.skatedork.org/fifteen/theband/mwnine.htm wage but if you're in a band you shouldn't even make minimum wage. If I even got minimum wage for every hour I put into Fifteen I would own my own home by now. Instead I lived in doorways. That's real solidarity with the workers huh? So lastly I wanted to bring up all the things that we wouldn't have if the MRR ideology was universally accepted. We would have lost a major piece of the movement against the Viet Nam war. Major Label bands played a very large role in stopping the worlds largest empire from destroying the people of Viet Nam. What do we have to point to, well we have argued about Green Day and bar codes until we were all blue in the face. Lately I took my daughter to see one of her favorite bands Everclear. They are on a major label. I have abandoned my daughter for about 3/4s of her life. Lots of men do that. The band Everclear has a song called Father of Mine. It's about the guy's dad leaving him and his mom at the age of ten and how much it hurt him. When we went to see Everclear they played that song and my daughter and I had what is clearly one of the most important experiences of my life. I realized that not only did that major label band play an integral part of healing my relationship with my daughter, they are probably the first people to give a huge number of kids permission and space to rightfully place blame for all the pain they feel on the parent who caused that pain. This is infinitely more important than how much we hate bar codes. Lastly is the argument that major labels are buying up rebellion to present it in a safe way. I haven't really seen more than a couple of punk rock bands that do anything but talk and pose. So I guess what IM trying to say is instead of slagging all the nonpolitical bands for being on major labels, maybe we should be slagging the political bands for not being on major labels. Why Jake Sayles, Kamala Parks, Jagger Bredahl, Cassandra Milispaugh Shoshana Wheaton, and Clayton McBride should eat shit. On October 4th, 1998 the above mentioned individuals distributed the following flyer at a Fifteen show in People's Park in Berkeley California. I will go through this point by point. The text of their original flyer appears in bold print. Why You Should Question Jeff Ott? - Jeff is a traitor to alternative lifestyles and has become a born-again 3 of 19 4/14/18, 7:08 PM my world issue five http://www.skatedork.org/fifteen/theband/mwnine.htm Christian. Traitor? Alternative lifestyles? Born again Christian? If you guys would of put that one last maybe somebody would have taken you seriously. First of all, I am not any kind of Christian. I have NEVER attended any church service ever. I have never been baptized. I have never accepted anyone as my personal savior. My spirituality is centered on my knowing that I am part of an organism called earth. That's about it. Furthermore, saying that someone is guilty of something because of his or her faith is bigoted bullshit. Not particularly different from the homophobia you accuse me of. As far as a traitor to the alternative lifestyles goes, I guess so. I don't thinks it's OK to have NON-CONSENSUAL sex with drugged children. People throw around words like alternative all the time. Having an identity is fine but it accomplishes nothing by it's self. I work towards revolution almost every fucking day. I run my own needle exchange program in Sonoma county, I generate funds and buy/distribute sleeping bags, socks and vitamins to homeless people, I am a community health worker in Petaluma (I educate young people about HIV, Hepatitis, proper condom usage, safe needle use, etc.), I work at a homeless shelter, I (since I moved to Sonoma County) have been working towards the establishment of civilian police review and justice for the families of the 18 people killed by police since I've moved here. He has manipulated women and young girls into supporting him financially and sexually. Absolutely true. Not in the last seven years of course, but this isn't about what's going on now, it's about employee's of the Press trying to defend/avenge their BOSS.

  • “Petroleum Distillation” by Fifteen
    CHAPTER 2 “PETROLEUM DISTILLATION” BY FIFTEEN Zack Furness (for Chad Stocker) Having spent the last 14 or so years playing in punk bands, I’ve heard people tell a million stories about their favorite bands, their first shows, their best (and worst) performances, and quite often, some variation of how punk rock shaped who they are as individuals. I could probably tell a lot of these same stories if I wasn’t cursed with an insanely bad memory, and if I actually thought most of them were worth recalling in the first place! There are, of course, a handful of events that left an imprint in my mind like the mark of a branding iron. One such instance was early in college, when I was reintroduced to punk rock and instantly excited by the pros- pects of exploring everything possible. I found tons of new music and re- cord labels to check out, but at the time I was still generally turned off by the kinds of bands who just screamed and played music as fast and/or abra- sively as possible. Interestingly, I came to realize that a lot of those bands were the ones singing about real issues and the kinds of topics that were becoming increasingly important to me as I had just started college and was getting interested in learning about things that were definitely not part of ©my education 2015 in high school. But while I liked the ideaIAP of punk bands that had somethingAll substantial rights (or simply angry) to sayreserved about what was going Rebel Music, pages 13–18 Copyright © 2015 by Information Age Publishing All rights of reproduction in any form reserved.

  • MUTANT POP Big Catalog
    It’s the incredible free! MutantMutant PopPop W Mailorder Catalog I’m totally delighted to announce that the fantastic debut album by THE MUTE-ANTS is finally on the street! My apologies to those of you who waited and waited, this one got hung up for a long time over art. In the end, we went with the band’s art rather than mine—Dave is a graphic design guy and he’s far more talented than I ever thought of being—so the delay is ultimately all for the best. It’s a very, very nice 20 page booklet with the CD! MP-508 The Terrible Tunes of The Mute-Ants is probably the hardest rocking album in the history of Mutant Pop. This info might come as a surprise to those of you who only own the MP-19 MUTE-ANTS The Mute -Ants single with its fa-la-la-la harmony action. This one is a well-placed knee right to the groin. Unghhhh!!! Mind you, this is pop-punk. It is not ’77 style, SoCal, or ga- rage... But this is the fastest, hardest, most rippin’, rockin’ pop-punk album of all time. I’m not shitting you, this will blow the doors right off your car if you make a tape and crank it loud enough. A 27-minute full-throttle hyperactive adrenaline blast with a couple guitar so- los derived from MOTORHEAD or some such and some completely distinctive ultra-amplified revved up harmonica action on a couple tracks. THE AUTOMATICS had a tape of this album and played in incessantly in their van during their most recent tour.
